Julia Roberts’ Accent

If you paid close attention, Vivian’s Southern accent becomes noticeable, especially in the scene in the elevator where Vivian exclaims, “Well, color me happy.” Uh oh!

To avoid any issues, they made some changes to the script and included the fact that Vivian’s home state was Georgia and she moved to Los Angeles. Actually, Julia Roberts was born and grew up in Smyrna, Georgia, which is just outside of Atlanta and she attended Georgia State University prior to dropping out in order to pursue a career in acting.
